FUND RAISED FOR PROBE BE CITY GOV’T Chamber of Commerce Backs Plan for Most Sweeping Investigation. A sweeping investigation of every city department is today planned by the Chamber of Commerce. Outside experts of national reputation are to be brought to Atlanta, to delve to the heart of Atlanta’s administration af fairs in an effort to cut out unneces sary extravagances, force material economies and bring about improved methods, where possible. In the conduct of the city's affairs The projected probe is planned by the Chamber of Commerce despite the strenuous opposition of most of the city officials themselves, including some members of council. But the plan ha: progressed to the point that the au thorizing resolution is now slated for a vote in council Monday afternoon, with every probability that it will be passed. The investigation will be financed by the Chamber of Commerce, which has already voted to put up the $6,000 that the inquisitors will charge for their work Experts to Study City Conditions. Th® measure was introduced at the last meeting of council by tlw Board of Municipal Research, at the in-tame of the Chamber of Commerce. It does not purport to detect any graft or crook edness. but to probe into the present methods of city business, with a view of putting it on a more scientific and economical basis. The work is tS be done as it has been done in New York an(l other cities. The experts will study the present conditions and offer reme dies to the city officials as sugges tions. It was on the motion of Aiderman John E. McClelland the resolution was tabled until the meeting of council on Monday. Councilman Clarence Haverty, chairman of the hoard of municipal re search. is endeavoring to engineer the resolution through. He has been pledg ed support by Councilmen Aldine Chambers. Claude C. Mason and other leaders. But around the city hall are i many vigorous protests against an in vestigation of the departments by any outside authority. The new movement has also inherited some of the factional feelings of for mer similar projects. The Chamber of Commeri f i- 'l the fight for commission government, while the "city hall crowd" led the opposition. But F. J. Paxon chairman of the municipal research committee of the Chamber of Com merce. has declared that commission government will not he considered. Hr said that the Chamber of Commerce desires co-operation with the city of ficials to attain more science and econ omy in municipal affairs. It is expected that one of the things the expert- will n"l* is the large num ber of relatives of influential officials 'employed in the various departments. An effort t" pass an ordinance against the system caused i bitter fight last year. Sinh an ordinance was finally passed, but so amended as to give im ipunily to all. It i- now freely talked around the city hall that more rela tives , f officials hold city jobs than ever before. -c,.. ATLANTA., GA. THURSDAY. MAY 30. 1912. j GLOOMY JIM!

IXTR4 PRICE TWO CENTS WABRANTIS DEMANDED FDR T. E. WATSON U. S. Authorities Charge Thatr He Sent Improper Matter Through Mails. / F ’ MACON, GA.. May 3A—Thoma# B. Watson will probably be arrested this afternoon or tonight by a United States deputy marshal on a warrant charging him with sending improper matter through the mail Alex. Akerman, dis trict attorney for th* Southern district of Georgia, said today that he has the issuance of a warrant under consider ation, and probably will swear it out during th* day. The warrant will be the result oj publication in Latin, in the April num ber of the Watson magazine, concern ing what Mr. Watson terms "The Cath olic Hierarchy." The district attorney had these Latin excerpts translated by Professor Edward T Holmes, of Mer cer university, and in his opinion the translation shows the matter to be un usually obscene and vulgar. The Latin is said by Mr. Watson to be quotations from instructions given Catholic priests regarding the confes sional and the questions they shall ask female penitents. Mr. Akerman was advised early this morning that Watson was just leaving Atlanta and delayed sending a deputy tn Thomson until Mr. Watson arrives at his home. If the McDuffie author and politi cian Is arrested tonight, he will be taken before United States commis sioner in Augusta for a preliminary hearing and for the fixing of bond. Dis trict Attorney Akerman cited a nurrt ber of United States court decisions to show that it Is'as much a violation of the statute to send through the mails obscene matter written in Latin as that written in English. Mr. Akerman said that there was lit tle doubt that he will issue the war rant . Watson in Battle To Move Capitol Thomas E Watson today annonnoeo nis determination to throw himself heart and soul, into the movement started a year or so ago to move the state capital to Macon. From the parlor car "Dorothea," at tached to Georgia train No. 2. upon which the "red-headed person” left for his home in Thomson this morning, this parting shot was projected square ly in the direction of Atlanta, which Watson regards as the home-base of his ancient and adroit enemies, “the city politicians.” That there was much method in Watson's madness when yesterday aft ernoon he withdrew his application for the Chairmanship of the Georgia dele gation to Baltimore, in favor of Editor Charles R. Pendleton, of The Macon Telegraph, is now apparent. Watson has made up his mind to let by-gones be by-gones, so far as difTer-
